Om Shanti Om
There was a time when movies were made as 'masala mix' which could boast of a statement - 'Isme action bhi hai, drama bhi hai, emotion bhi comedy bhi aur romance bhi'!
Farah Khan had achieved it in MAIN HOON NAA earlier. Now she promises to do the same at a much bigger scale and grandeur with OM SHANTI OM. And to add to the fun, she mixes up the reincarnation theme too with a 70s setting to it!
As is a known fact by now, the film is about Om [Shahrukh Khan], a junior artist from the 70s who falls in love with the biggest superstar of her era, Shanti [Deepika Padukone]. Though his admiration for her began as a fan, he found himself getting closer to her with every passing day.
In Om, Shanti too found solace as she could be herself sans her superstar tag. Meanwhile Om also had the company of his mother [Kirron Kher] and Pappu Master [Shreyas Talpade], his friend and co-star. Enter the villain Mukesh Mehra [Arjun Rampal], a Bollywood star in himself and the coming together of Om and Shanti seemed like a forgotten dream.
Both Om and Shanti die, only to meet each other again in their new 'janam'. Circa 21st century and Om is now Om Kapoor, a reigning superstar who now enjoys all the fame and success even though he has deficiencies as an actor. Meanwhile Shanti too is back as Sandy.
But how about fighting off the bad forces again? Will Mukesh resurface to come between Om and Sandy again?
As a film OM SHANTI OM comes with a number of specials:
- Guest appearance by over 30 stars
- SRK's six pack abs
- Arjun Rampal's new look
- Amisha and Dia special appearance
- Pyarelal coming from a hiatus and arranging 'Dhoom Tana'
- 70s style over the top drama
Releasing at record number of prints all over the globe, OM SHANTI OM is poised to be one of the biggest earners of 2007 as it hits the screens this Diwali.
